It’s classic dark American folk, reborn for the our times in the style of Jay Farrar and Lou Reed. Despite its raw sound (or maybe because of it) we find Blackbird Harmony’s simple music most compelling.

This one comes from Hardwood Exits (a record Birdsong recorded with the support of Mara Lee Miller and the band, Eleven Hundred Springs). And, for the record, it appears Birdsong has moved to on to other things since dropping this set three years ago. He’s not left much of a trail but we’ll keep our eyes open for him.
